WAIT_BIT_QUEUE

Hello.

a better (imho) alternative to filtered wakeups.
see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=108375670411475&w=2

process waiting in wait_on_page_bit() will be woken only after
the required bit is cleared.

so there is no need to recheck the bit in do/while loop, because
there is no false wakeups now.

yes, when process gets cpu, the page can be locked again, it's ok.

Oleg.
